Meet the Community Members Registering Nodes for Elastos’ BPoS

In preparation for the transition to BPoS, Elastos Digerati took an active role in getting the community acclimated to the new community node candidates. A form was created for nodes to fill out and introduce themselves. Over a dozen community nodes filled out this form to engage with the community and show them what they bring to the table for the new BPoS Consensus. Enjoy learning about your fellow community node operators, and vote for the ones that best suit Elastos!

Please dedicate your time using the flagship Elastos wallet Essentials to stake ELA and vote for your favorite node(s). Utilize the Staking and Voting Essentials Guide to best navigate the process.

  • Background Information:

My profession background is in Growth Marketing & Analytics. I’ve worked for several public Fortune 500 companies in the US including Amazon and currently work for a private company based in San Francisco. I have experience developing marketing infrastructure for Growth and executing digital marketing campaigns. I hope my experience can one day translate into a role within the Elastos community. Way back in 2019, I worked on the CRC growth team, before it was disbanded.

I am so inspired by Rong Chen’s vision that I am currently pursuing a Masters in Computer Science with a focus on Distributed Systems to deepen my technical skills as I hope to soon pivot full-time into Web3. My Master’s thesis will focus on Elastos and developing commercial applications for the technology which I hope to promote within the United States. 

My primary reasons for running a node are:

1) I want to support the Elastos ecosystem directly. I have been inspired by Rong Chen’s vision since 2018 and have been an active community member ever since. I believe now is the time to get more involved and help take this project to the mainstream where it belongs. 

2) I want to develop my technical skills and understanding of blockchain infrastructure so I can further support the Elastos Smartweb. 

3) I want to develop content that can make it easy for other less-technical people, to learn the basics of node running and the Elastos tech stack. 

  • Why should the Community vote for your node?

I believe there’s value in having node operators in the community (outside the core teams), but to be honest, there are many other people much more deserving of votes than me. People that have worked very hard in this community despite all the ups and downs like Mbutcho, Ryan, Nenchy, Greg, etc. I just hope I can have enough votes to not run a loss so I can continue running my node, develop content on how other non-technical people can run nodes, and learn about node operations so I can better support the commercialization of the Elastos Smartweb in the USA.

  • Background Information:

As an Elastos OG and an active community member, the least I can do is support Elastos network stability, decentralization, security, consistency and reliability. Hence running BPoS validator nodes was a no brainer to me, even if I will be incurring in-real-life costs out of my pocket to cover their running costs (for renting virtual servers, etc) with very little info on what the potential returns might be. 

I strongly believe everyone will have a role and should be doing their best contributing to Elastos’ success .. We can’t all sit on our hands praying for Elastos tech stack to get mass adoption while not trying to help in whatever way we can .. I’m not a techie so I can’t help with dev work, so I figured out I can play a role pushing Elastos on social media, spreading the word out and making what Elastos is about and aspiring to become as clear as possible to as many people as attainable, as long as running the 3 validator nodes with variable pledge times to give more options for stakers to help with the BPoS transition and get it up and running as quickly as possible.

  • Why should the Community vote for your node?

It is imperative for stakers to put their trust and pledge their precious ELA to nodes operated by trustworthy operators whom they know first-hand and are active in the Elastos community (I deem myself as one), otherwise they will be assuming the risk of a node owner shutting it doing prematurely (for various reasons) while stakers’ ELA is still locked for the pledge time they set when initially staking!

Furthermore, supporting early node operators who are hardcore believers in Elastos, locking their precious Elastos for quite a long time and bearing in-real-life actual costs to operate the validator nodes at such an early stage with uncertainty about what the potential returns might be.
